Yamaga Blanks - BlueSniper 81/8 FLX

$89000

Flex-loaded power for reef kings and offshore brutes

The BlueSniper 81/8 FLX-Mode is a flexible yet high-powered topwater rod, purpose-built for anglers chasing large kingfish in gnarly terrain and powerful tuna offshore. Designed to handle PE8-class setups and 60–180g lures, this model delivers the perfect blend of castability, lure control, and fighting power.

The blank has a slightly more forgiving feel compared to heavier models, giving it smoother load-up for casting big stickbaits and poppers, while still offering serious lifting power when it’s time to turn fish off the rocks. Whether you're pulling trophy kingfish out of current-charged shallows or battling yellowfin in open water, the 81/8 gives you control, confidence, and comfort during long fights.

It’s a top choice for anglers who want a heavy-class topwater rod with a bit more flex in the fight — without sacrificing strength where it counts.

• Reel pairing: Shimano / Daiwa SW14000–18000 class

If you’re targeting serious kingfish in rough terrain or tuna on the edge, the BlueSniper 81/8 FLX-Mode gives you the flex to fight smart — and the grunt to land your fish.
